Hindi nagsusustento sa mga anak, pinangakuan ng kasal

is in the Philippines

Ako po ay may 2 anak na lalaki, 8 and 6 yrs old. Ako ay napangakuan ng kasal ng pinagbubuntis ko pa lang ang panganay ko. Pero nakiusap po ang biyenan kong lalaki sa magulang ko na matapos lang ang kanilang gastusin sa opsital ng mga panahong yon, pwede na kame ikasal.


Nung panahon po na yon kaka-opera lang sa puso ng byenan kong babae. Pero nakapanganak na ako at nasundan pa ulit. Yung ama ng mga anak ko wala nag abroad po, at pagkatapos ng isang taon nagpakasal sa iba. Yung panganay ko pong anak kinuha sakin ng mga magulang nya, at hirap ko na po makuha dahil nagagalit sila pag kinuha ko ang bata. Pati po yung bunso ko gusto nila kuhanin at ang sabi po, dalawin ko na lang po. Tama po ba yung gusto nilang mangyari? Kahit para sa akin, napakahirap dahil ako ang ina.


Isa pa, wala po akong natatanggap kahit piso mula ng mag abroad ang ama ng mga anak ko. Opo wala ako karapatan, pero may anak po siya sa akin. Ano po ba dapat ko gawin? 6 na taon na po sya pablik balik sa abroad. Walang sustento mula pa nuon sa anak namen

I sympathize with you. Unfortunately, ang promise to marry, kapag hindi in-honor ng lalaki ay hindi nagbibigay ng karapatan sa babae na magdemanda para mapilitan ang lalaki na pakasalan siya. Hindi naman kasi nadidiktahan ang puso kung sino ang iibigin at kung sino ang pakakasalan.

Ngayon, ang bata ay dapat na nasa custody ng ina. If you want custody over your son, you will have a right to it. Can you support your children? Do you have work? Do you have a place to stay? Kasi, ito ang itatanong ng husgado sa iyo kung babawiin mo ang iyong anak sa kanila. May karapatan ka naman na kuhanin ang anak mo.

But then, if you don't have work and you cannot support your son, masakit man sa puso mo, if he is better off with his grandparents because they can feed him, clothe him and send him to school, is that so bad?

May karapatan ka. I can understand your feelings, of course you want your son with you. It is your right. But you also have to think about the best interest of your son.

I suggest that you consult a lawyer. I suggest that you also think about this through. You can get your son, you can demand from their biological father that he send them monthly support. And if he refuses, you can always file a case in court to compel him to send that support.

You will have to fight for your children. Kaya mo ba iyon? Mukhang natatakot ka sa galit ng mg magulang ng tatay ng mga anak mo. kailangan mong patibayin ang loob mo. Ikaw ang may karapatan sa mga bata. Ang mga bata ay may karapatan na suportahan ng kanilang ama. kaya mo bang ipaglaban ito? If you can, find a good lawyer and start the process of getting your child.Sabi mo naman, nagagalit sila, e ano kung magalit sila?
